Welcome to Our Higher Education Internship Program
Our Higher Education Graduate Programs’ internships (ELMP 8981/8982) offer unparalleled opportunities for our M.A.E. and Ed.S. students to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world practice. These transformative experiences allow students to explore their passions, gain invaluable skills and build meaningful professional networks.
What Students Are Saying

Internship Features
- Real-World Experience: Internships provide exposure to real-world challenges and opportunities to apply classroom knowledge in professional settings.
- Skill Development: Students gain practical skills like project management, advising, and event planning, which are essential for higher education careers.
- Professional Networking: Build lasting relationships with professionals in the field and grow your career network.

Our internship program provides a seamless transition from the classroom to the workforce. Many students secure full-time roles in higher education immediately after completing their internships, thanks to the hands-on experience and networking opportunities.
Several students have used their internship experiences to transition into advanced programs. One notable example includes a student who completed the internship as part of a master’s requirement and went on to join the Ph.D. program in Higher Education, with their on-site supervisor serving as a key mentor on their dissertation committee.
